Mr.. Edward Clark, the architect of the
Capitol for some years, and who, l be-
lieye, is a New England man, has done
wonders in heating and ventilating the
building, which had not the smallest per-
foration for either heat or ventilation,
according to the modern plan. Great
fans in the cellar pump up many thou
sand cubic feet of air into the house and
senate chambers. A network of pipes
conveys heat where heat was never
meant to be. The only provision made
for heating the building was big open
fireplaces; and to this day in the corridors
may be seen the long, high wooden boxes
in which the oak and hickory logs were
kept that blazed up the chimneys in the
days of the fathers. There are yet many
vast fireplaces at the Capitol in which a
generous wood fire glows and sparkles-
zone of your little piles of kindling wood,
but old time back logs, supported on
large ffredogs of three generations back.
The committee rooms all have open fires,
either of coal or wood, as the chairman
of the committee selects. w

The Germans are rapidly developing a
system of evening continuation classes
which carry on education for two or three
years longer. In Saxony the boys who
leave the primary school, if they do not
go to the higher schools, must attend for
three years longer-say until they are II
continuation classes for at least five
hours per week. But teaching is pro-
vided for them, and they are encouraged
to attend twelve hours per week. So
complete is this system that even the
walters at the hotels up to the age of II
attend afternoon classes, and are taught
one or W foreign languages. l take
Saxony as one of the most advanced
states, but the law is much the same in
Wurtemberg and Baden, and the system
is found to work so well that it is in con
temptation to extend it to all the states in
the German empire, and Austria will
probably follow suit. This is confidently
expected to happen in the course of 1888.
l may state as an undoubted fact that
in Germany and Switzerland, and / be-
lieve in some other continental countries,
the opinion is ripening into a conviction
that the education, even of the poorest
class, should be continued in some form
or another to the age of l6 or II. They
find by experience that wherever this is
adopted it gives an enormo advan-
tage to the people in the competition of
life, and, above all, trains them to habits
of industry and mental application. l be-
lieve it is owing to this system of thorough
education that Germany has almost ex-
tinguished the pauper and semi-pauper
class which is the pane and disgrace Of
our country.-London Times.

THE. LAMP OF HTTLE PEOPLE.


Far away, and yet so near us, lies n land where
al have been,
Played beside ITS sparkling waters, danced along
its meadows green,
Where the busy world we dweh in and Its noises
only seem
Like the echo OF a tempest or the shadow OF a
dream;
And it grows not old forever. sweet and young it
is today
'Tis the Land of Little People, where she happy
children play.
And the things they know and see there are SO
wonderful and grand,
Things that wiser and older folks cannot know
nor understand.
In the woods they meet the fairies, find the giants
in their caves,
See the palaces of eioudland and the mermen in.
the waves,
Know what ali the brides sing of, hear tho
secrets Of the flowers
For the Land of Little People Is another world
than ours.
Once twas ours; It's ours no longer, for when
nursery time is DER
Through the Land of Little People we may wan
der nevermore;
But we hear their merry voices and we see them
ut their play,
And our own dark world grows brighter and we
seem rs young as bhey,
Roaming over shore and meadow, talking to the
birds and flowers
For the Land of Little People is q fairer world
than ours, Auckland News.

The truth was the major had discovered

devised n scheme which he afterward
carried out so successfully, in order
to test the sincerity of Lieut.. Maple
sons attachment to MaVde. Maj. Hen
derson had, of course, been obliged To
n the landlady into his confidence, and
she, fully entering into the spirit of the
thing, had suggested the major occupy
ing the top room in her cottage, whence
he could watch Mr.. Brownies move
ments. And SO Maj. Henderson had
merely walked to the station, portman-
eau in hand, and, returning, had en-
tered Honeysuckle cottage by the back
way.
Maudc's grief and humiliation we're SO
real when she heard these details that her
uncle, thinking she would not care to re-
main where her story was known, wisely
suggested returning home the following
day.

The llama is covered with a very fine
silky hair or wool, which is not shed like
that of the camel, but when properly
cared for grows to n length of from three
to four inches. The finest is on the legs.
The animal rarely produces more than
one young at a time, the period of gesta-
ton being six months, and it comes to
maturity at three years of age. The In
dams are very fond of the meat, esteem
ing it beyond that of any other animal.
They dry it in quantities, and they regard
the soup made from it as n sovereign
remedy in nearly-all cases of sickness.
At ordinary labor the llama will last for
twelve years, but those which are used in
the mines do not live longer than three
or four years, in consequence of intirmity
caused by the sulphurous exhalations.-

One article of subsistence sometimes
employed by the Indians is only resorted
TO when they are driven to great straits
by hunger. Around many of the water
ing places in the pine forests of Oregon
and California the trees of Pinus pom
derosa may be seen stripped of their bark
for a space of three or four feet near the
base of the trunk. This has been &C
complished by cutting with a Ratchet q
line around the tree as high up as one
could conveniently reach, and another
lower down, 20 that the bark, covered
above and below, could be removed in
strips. At certain seasons of the year n
mucilaginous film (the liburnum) separ-
ates the bark from the wood of the
trunk. Part of this film adheres to each
surface and may be scraped off. The re-
sulting mixture of mucilage cells and
half formed wood is nutritious and not
unpalatable, so that, as a last resort, it
may be used as a defense against starva-
ton. The frequency with which. signs
of its having been resorted to are met
with, is a striking indication of the I'M
certainties and Irregularities Of the supply
department among savages.-Popular

The number of Berlin trade institu-
ions has beer increased by the addition
of a board for postage stamps" There
are 1870 members. The society of stamp
collectors elected the five trustees. A
large amount of business was done. Old
German stamps, not used, were in great
demand. Next came American stamps.
The supply was much greater than the
demand. The exchange will meet every
